Where to go while visiting Michoacan?

Question

My husband was born in Michoacan Mex and we are planning a trip to Mexico. We would like to go to Michoacan but we don't know where to stay and what we can do while visiting. He was born in Zamora but lived a couple of years in Los Reyes. Does anyone know of any nice things to do. We are taking our 2 1/2 yr old with us.

Answer 1

morelia and patzcuaro. i do like uruapan but its known for very heavy drug dealing. the couple of times i have driven there with friends, I have seen crime scenes in the streets where they were shooting at eachother.

Answer 2

Michoacan is just wonderful, I am not from there, but I visited during many years.  There is the sanctuary of the monarch butterfly, and the beautiful procesion of Patzcuaro, dangerous but wonderful beaches!

Answer 4

I like Morelia, and also Uruapan (which is more of a small, mountainous vacation spot.)  Morelia has a really cool film festival and it has some nice parts.  

Right now Michoacan is considered a bit of a danger spot because of some drug cartel issues.
